PARIS - The days of condom-free porn on French cable television are nearing an end.
Starting next year, channels will no longer be allowed to air porn with scenes of unprotected sex because it sets a dangerous example, the official French broadcasting watchdog High Audiovisual Council, or CSA, announced Wednesday.
"The risks actors take by having unprotected sex during filming are real," Aids awareness organisation Act Up wrote to the CSA in January, pressing for the change.
"These films trivialise and possibly glorify risky sex."
The CSA agreed with the activist group, moving to classify unprotected sex in pornos as "delinquent behaviour", noting that the films rarely showed sex between partners in committed, lasting relationships.
The new rule will affect nine cable channels licensed to air porn.
Movies on demand, however, won't be affected because they aren't regulated by the CSA.
